Blurb:
To the first boy I ever loved.

I intended to keep my promises to you. I swear. I loved you, Matthew Caldwell. With my whole heart. I think a piece of me will always love you.

But it all came crashing down when I realized you didn’t keep your promises to me.

I refuse to take any of my days for granted. I learned that the hard way.

So I’m sorry. But I can’t keep my promises to someone who didn’t keep theirs.

XOXO,
-Brooklyn Sanders

Obsessed is James Hunter's point-of-view of my bestselling novel Temptation. It's packed with tons of new scenes. And you are going to love getting inside my steamiest hero's head. If you thought Temptation was hot? You haven't seen anything yet!

And if you don't know who James Hunter is, you're about to be introduced to him in my spiciest book of the year:

Blurb:

I’m not a good man. And it turns out I’m an even worse professor.

I have sinful thoughts about one of my students. Every night. I picture her in my bed. In my shower. Underneath me. Right up against the chalkboard. I’m especially fond of that one.

In my defense, I know her thoughts are as sinful as mine. She’s begging me with her beautiful blue eyes. She’s daring me to cross the line.

No, I’m not a good man. And I’m done pretending to be. I know exactly what I’m going to do to her as soon as she walks into my office hours…

Today is my anniversary with Ryan and it’s also exactly one week until Obsessed comes out. And I find that so absolutely fitting.

Warning: This post is going to be long and sappy. And it’ll contains spoilers for some of my books that are already out.

Four years ago my husband and I said “I do.”

So much of our story reflects what is written in The Hunted series. Ryan, you are the James to my Penny. I fell in love with you crazy fast. I think it’s easy for young hearts to fall that quickly. But we’re the lucky ones. The ones that kept growing together. And falling even more in love.

You encouraged me to start writing. To chase my dreams. And I wrote what I knew. You and me. I write you into all my books. Pieces of you and me.

You make me laugh like you’re the Tanner to my Ash.

We’re written in the stars like Summer and Miles.

You feel like home to me, the same way Matt feels like home to Brooklyn.

One of the hardest scenes I’ve ever had to write was Matthew Caldwell’s wedding vows. The ones he had to say on the saddest day of his life instead of the best. Thinking of a life without you Ryan…channeling what that would be like? I couldn’t stop crying for days.

But most of all…I wrote us into that very first series. Penny and James. I can’t believe that I wrote Temptation six and a half years ago. And that for almost a whole year you’re the only one who knew I was putting my heart and soul out there. I kept my writing a secret because I didn’t have the confidence I do now.

You believed in me. You encouraged me. You lifted me up in the best way possible.
And I can’t thank you enough for helping me find my thing. Writing is my happy place. And sharing my words with you chapter by chapter makes me the happiest human ever.

You are my true love. My happily ever after. My everything. Because only with you am I whole. Only with you have I really figured out who I am.

And that’s what James is for Penny too. I think a lot of people view needing someone to complete you as a weakness. But I think it’s incredibly strong. To trust someone so completely with your heart. There’s strength in vulnerability.

Getting to write about James and Penny again in Obsessed feels like coming full circle. Like coming home. Like remembering what it was like to give you my heart in the first place. It was the best decision I ever made. And I’m so excited to share our story in a new way next week.

Hands Down, I wouldn’t want to do life with anyone else, Ryan. I love you.

Blurb:
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Mistletoe and holly and lights all aglow. It’s my favorite time of year. Until my husband had to go and ruin it.

Christmas is officially canceled at my house now that I’ve kidnapped my husband and locked him in the basement. And not even Santa can get me out of this mess.

I know what you’re thinking. That I’m crazy. But I swear I’m not. I’m going to let him free eventually. Or maybe with a little Christmas magic he’ll fall in love with me again.
This is a standalone thriller with an unforgettable twist.

This is book 3 of the Secrets of Suburbia series. But it can be read as a standalone.

My new family is dangerous. I've heard the whispers. I've seen it firsthand. And my new last name puts me in danger too.

The only thing keeping me in this city is Matthew Caldwell. If I didn't love him, I'd be long gone. But he says I'm changing. That I'm becoming the thing I hate. And I'm worried he might be right. What if I'm actually the dangerous one?

Because all I want to do is prove I belong here just as much as anyone else. I'm going to become one of the elite. I'm going to live like an Untouchable. And no one will be able to break me. Ever. Again.

But while I'm focused on fitting in to this new world, I forget that the stakes are so much bigger than who's the most popular at Empire High. I'm playing with life and death.

I should have seen it coming. After all...I betrayed everyone to get to where I am. It makes sense that one of them would betray me too.

To celebrate the cover reveals of the rest of the books in the Empire High series, I'm giving away an early copy of Empire High Elite!!

Empire High Elite (Empire High book 2) Blurb:

Welcome to the world of the elite.

My mom fell in love with a monster. I know he’s dangerous. And I know my mom never wanted him in my life. I don’t want him in mine either. But I’m being forced to live with him.

I’m stuck in his haunting apartment in a world where I don’t belong. A world full of beautiful people with ugly souls. A world filled with secrets.

And the one person that I thought I could rely on was Matt. But he says my new family is a disease. Does that make me toxic too? Is that why Matt wants to keep me his dirty little secret?

I should have known that all the secrets would come crashing down soon. I just never expected more to break than Matthew freaking Caldwell breaking my heart.
